For the past 14 years, I’M HOME has convened a range of stakeholders interested in applying manufactured housing solutions to affordable housing challenges. Our annual conference brings together affordable housing developers, lenders, policymakers, industry experts, homeowners, community organizers and more. This year, we are gearing up for our best conference yet. At our conference last year in Providence, we convened nearly 200 professionals to discuss and tackle manufactured housing challenges and opportunities around energy efficiency, healthy homes, replacement, federal policy and more.

The I’M HOME Conference brings together a diverse group of housing professionals to unlock the potential of manufactured housing, and create more access to the single-largest source of unsubsidized affordable housing in the US.
Speakers and attendees will include:
Since 2005, Prosperity Now and a select group of national partners including the Wells Fargo Housing Foundation, NeighborWorks® America, ROC USA®, Next Step®, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae have worked to unlock the potential of manufactured housing through the Innovations in Manufactured Homes (I’M HOME) initiative. Our goal is to transform manufactured homes into valuable family assets offering the opportunity to build equity and achieve economic security. The basic hypothesis underlying I'M HOME is that holistic improvements across the following four areas will enable owners of manufactured homes to take advantage of factory-built housing’s affordability while also ensuring the opportunity to build wealth in a way that more closely resembles the experience of owners of site-built housing:
Prosperity Now's work makes it possible for millions of people to achieve financial security and contribute to an opportunity economy. We scale innovative practical solutions that empower low- and moderate-income people to build wealth. We drive responsive policy change at all levels of government. We support the efforts of community leaders across the country to advance economic opportunity for all. Prosperity Now was established in 1979 as the Corporation for Enterprise Development (CFED). In June of 2017, CFED changed their name to Prosperity Now. Prosperity Now works nationally and internationally through its offices in Washington, DC; Durham, North Carolina, and San Francisco, California.
